WEBVTT THE SAME CRIME. THIS MORNING, KEVIN MARKHAM WAS BACK IN COURT. STEVE BURGIN WAS THERE... HE'S LIVE WITH WHAT HAPPENED. KEVIN MARKHAM ALREADY HAS SPENT TIME IN FEDERAL PRISON FOR A BANK HOLDUP HE COMMITTED NEARLY A DECADE AGO. MARKHAM FIGURED HE HAD PAID HIS DEBT TO SOCIETY, BUT TO HIS SURPRISE HE WAS ARRESTED AGAIN THIS WEEK FOR THE SAME ROBBERY. 1:55 You don't have to admit anything about the facts of the case. I've already done my time for this case. BECAUSE THE ARRAIGNMENT JUDGE HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING IF THAT WAS TRUE, KEVIN MARKHAM WAS ORDERED BACK TO JAIL ON A 25- THOUSAND DOLLAR BOND. THESE ARE SURVEILLANCE PHOTOS FROM 2004, WHEN THE 18 YEAR OLD MARKHAM HELD UP A B-B AND T BANK BRANCH IN THE DOUGLAS LOOP AT GUNPOINT. HE NEVER DENIED IT. 2:24 Scott Cox/Markham's Attorney says, He was a kid at the time. He was actually rode his bicycle to the bank and robbed the bank and rode is bike out. MARKHAM PLEADED GUILTY IN FEDERAL COURT AND WAS SENT TO PRISON. HE WAS RECENTLY RELEASED, BUT HIS 2004 ARREST WARRANT WAS NEVER RECALLED. SO ON TUESDAY NIGHT, HE WAS ARRESTED BY A METRO OFFICER FOR THE SAME CRIME. WE CHECKED FEDERAL COURT RECORDS AND VERIFIED MARKHAM'S STORY, THEN CONTACTED MARKHAM'S ATTORNEY SCOTT COX. 2:11 How does something like this happen? I have no explanation. COX IMMEDIATELY BEGAN WORK TO GET MARKHAM FREED AND WAS BACK IN COURT LESS THAN 24 HOURS AFTER THE ARRAIGNMENT. 1:08 The exact same crime Judge. He served his time and was released for sometime. Doing well and for whatever reason was on NCIC as a live warrant. JUDGE SEAN DELAHANTY ALSO COULDN'T EXPLAIN THE MISTAKE. HE DISMISSED THE CASE. 1:48 Good luck to you. Thank you judge. COX SAYS MARKHAM HAS A JOB AND WAS TRYING TO GET ON WITH HIS LIFE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. NO ONE HAS FIGURED OUT WHY HIS OLD ARREST WARRANT SLIPPED
